which tyres for my RR?
Moderator: Micka
which tyres for my RR?
Hi all
im just new to these forums and 4x4 in general
ive bought myself a 79 RR fitted with a 308 and turbo 400 auto and OME 2" lift
next week it goes in to get 2"body lift and the guards chopped out so that i can fit some decent rubber under there
a couple of questions i have are
what is the biggest and widest tyre i can fit with those mods?(2"body lift +2"susp+chopped guards)
what are your opinions on these tyres?
they will be used mainly for mud and bush work so road handling isnt an issue.

Simex centipedes 35" unsure of width

or are there any other suggestions? i am looking at spending around $300 - $400/tyre and i am yet to buy rims so i may get either 15" or 16" rims
thanks in advance

Its not a qestion of what fits, bt rather a question of what drivetrain yo are or intend to run..
Simex is great, but its rough on the drivetrain...suggest you consider this first...

the link you gave for the simex was the simex centipede m/t this only comes in a 31 at the moment. I am think that the better and larger tyre you are refering to is the extreme trekker (also known as centipede)

Mongrels are a extreme trekker copy made by motor way. much cheaper. They are retreads/remoulds on an old tyre carcase
creepy crawlers are a model of tyre. google it.

They are called the "creepy crawler", and from what I have read, although they work well off-road, wear and ride very badly on-road, and have a badly shaped profile if you don't mount them on exactly the right rim width.
